II is needless to remark that there are po
threshiug machines in India; as among the
Jews in the days Of the Old Testament, the
corn is tTodden out By cxen. This practice
largely accounts for the dirty condition in
which Indian wheat arrives 10 England.
The method of winnowipg employed in
India has also the merits OF simplicity AID
antiquity. Choosing windy day, the cul
tivator or one of his family, or laborer,
takes quantity of unwinnowed corn into 8
basket specially made fer the purpose, and,
lifting it uples the corn gradually fall to the
ground, the wind blowing the chaf away.
An exactly similar method is employed in
Italy and parts Of France, and perhaps is
still known in parts OF England. For clean.
ing the wheat before grinding the same
method is employed. another man some.
times standing by with another basket, fam
ming the wheat as it falls, in order 20 more

unite on Lowe sgaio=t the regular demo
cratic nominee. Lowe it will be remember
ed, was the democratic candidate IN the
winter of 1856 for the House, but the unim-
portance of member to the party at that
time was the occasion of so much apathy
that a republican was easily elected over
him. Lowe and his friends were disappoint-

he and other democrats supported Judge
Sangster for clerk of the county court. His
record as vigorous worker in elections,
